Sir, How About A Marriage?

In one of Jiang Jin’s houses.

Song Ning was cooking. She was rather skilled.

The baby was firmly held in his father’s arms as he looked at his mother curiously. He seemed greatly interested in the flames that surge from time to time. He struggled slightly in his father’s arms, trying to get to his mother.

Mu Chen had to focus all his attention on the baby to prevent him from falling. He had brought the baby here today because he wanted the three of them to spend quality time together as a family.

Song Ning was naturally overjoyed. She played with the baby the entire morning, and the baby was so excited that he refused to nap. She and Mu Chen lay on each of the baby’s sides as they tried to put him to sleep. It did not take long before the baby calmed down and fell asleep while sucking on his thumb. With that, Song Ning and Mu Chen, who had time off today, dozed off next to their son. She cherished this time very much.

Finally, Song Ning woke up and began to prepare lunch for the father and son. The baby had already started on solid food.

The baby did not sleep for long and woke up soon. As soon as he woke up, he climbed on his father and patted his father’s face as though to wake his father up. He babbled incessantly as though urging his father to bring him to his mother.

When Mu Chen woke up, he played with the baby. However, when the baby grew impatient, he carried the baby to the kitchen.

Just as Mu Chen reached the entrance of the kitchen, the baby let out a happy giggle when he saw Song Ning.

Song Ning was cooking. Her hands were wet so she could not carry the baby. Hence, she only rubbed her cheek against the baby’s cheek.

The baby reached out with his chubby hands and hugged Song Ning’s head, drooling on her face. The mother and son laughed happily.

Mu Chen brought out a piece of tissue to wipe Song Ning’s face before wiping the baby’s mouth. He complained, “He’s been drooling a lot lately. He even gnaws on people. Sometimes when he bites on my fingers, he even refuses to let go.”

Song Ning washed her hands and wiped them clean before she brought the food she prepared from the oven. She showed it to the father and son with a smile on her face.

The baby reached out, but Song Ning held his chubby hands and gently said, “It’s still hot so you can’t have it yet. You can have a taste when it cools down.”

Mu Chen reached out to take one of the stick-like biscuits. “What’s this?” After taking a bite, he said, “Hm? It’s quite delicious.”

Upon seeing Mu Chen eat, the baby grew anxious. He struggled and waved his hand.

Fortunately, Mu Chen’s hold on the baby was firm. Otherwise, the baby would have fallen.

Song Ning hurriedly reached out to support the baby as she said, “These are called teething sticks. They’re for babies.”

“Teething sticks?” Mu Chen was curious. He had never heard of such a thing.

Song Ning put the plate in her hands down and took the remaining teething stick from Mu Chen’s hand.

The baby looked at Song Ning intently.

After checking the temperature and making sure it was okay, Song Ning handed the teething stick to the baby. Then, she said, “He’s been drooling and biting because he’s teething. His gums will be itchy and swollen during this time so he’ll bite to relieve the itchiness.”

“Is that so?” Mu Chen curiously reached out and gently pried his son’s mouth open. “Baby, let Daddy have a look. You have teeth? Why didn’t I notice?”

The baby bit Mu Chen’s finger and even shook his head as he did so.

“Ouch!” Mu Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry as he pulled his hand away. “Look at him! He does this to Sister Yu and A Nuan as well. Thankfully, he’s rather smart and doesn’t do this to Grandma. Otherwise, I would’ve spanked him.”

Song Ning smiled and said to the baby, “Baby, have a taste of the teething stick Mommy made.”

Mu Chen nodded. “Try it.. It’s delicious.”
